    Canon 1DX Canon 180mm macro ISO Auto 1250 1/1250 sec f7.1 (Using auto ISO quite a lot now - fairly wide aperture to diffuse the background). Processed in DPP - still mixed feelings - only pursuing because Artie feels so strongly - personally I still think ACR has it licked
    I am busy with the garden at the moment so I grab the odd macro when I can. I think this is a little better than the previous but still not quite what I am after.

    It's sharp. Like the light and natural color. The BG is little bit busy but it's well done macro shot. TFS. Cheers! Miro

    Hi Jon. I agree that this one is better than the last. You did a good job of getting both dragonflies within your DOF and the background is much cleaner. I also like the soft light. If it were mine, I'd be tempted to crop some off both sides - though the crop gets rather square - depends on how you feel about square crops, I guess.
